Police have released images of a man they wish to speak with in connection with an incident in which another man was found in the street with serious injuries.

Officers want to speak with Ben Nightingale, pictured, as part of their enquiries. 

Nightingale is white, 35 years old, 6ft tall, with cropped dark brown hair, and blue eyes. He may currently have a beard.

He has a tattoo saying Michelle on the right side of his neck and a tattoo of the name Hayley on his back.

His last known address was Eaves Lane in Woodplumpton, Preston but he also has links to Rochdale.

Police were called on Wednesday after a man, aged in his 30s, was found on Queen Street in Morecambe and taken to hospital. He remains in a serious condition.

An investigation is underway but at this stage it is unclear how the man came by his injuries and detectives are trying to establish exactly what has happened.

Anyone with information should contact police on 101 quoting log 0118 of March 31.

Alternatively call independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
